Photos taken around Strawberry, CA

My parents bought their cabin at Strawberry in 1954. Some of my best memories took place at Strawberry.

When we were young, there were many kids around my age, including others from Davis.

My current header picture is Strawberry Meadow. This meadow was destroyed during the 70s by people driving on it. It was restored by a couple of 4-wheel drive clubs. It now looks a lot like it did when I was young.

Introduction

My parents have had a cabin at Strawberry since 1954.  Some of my best memories growing up were there. 

Growing up their were many kids my age, including others from Davis with cabins close to ours.

My current header picture is Strawberry Meadow.  This meadow was destroyed   during the 70s by  people driving on it.  It was restored by a couple of 4-wheel drive clubs.  It now looks a lot like it did when I was young.
